Key Terminology BENCHMARK PREMIUM: The Benchmark Premium is a level annual premium which is used to determine the Excess Funding option. BENCHMARK CASH VALUE: The Minimum Benchmark Cash Value is calculated using a tracking account that applies the same premium and current charges as the policyholder account value with the exception that interest will be credited on the tracking account at a fixed rate. (5.50%) The total cash withdrawal benefit for all combined options will be limited to the lesser of $100,000 and 10% of the Specified Amount whichever is lower. Exercising the ABRs, Chronic Illness or Terminal Illness will result in forfeiting the liquidity options. All other riders do not effect the liquidity options. AGLC111217 Page 7 of 46 108783

Accelerated Access Solution
101(g) No LTC license necessary 2-out-of-6 ADLs; or Severe Cognitive Impairment No Permanency Requirement* Indemnity Benefit No Receipts Spend benefits on anything Flexible Benefit Base Benefit = 50% up to 100% of Death Benefit $50,000 minimum up to $3,000,000 maximum Full waiver of monthly deductions Let’s look at some of the benefits of the Accelerated Access Solution. Accelerated Access was filed as a rider under IRC section 101(g). That primarily means that: No LTC license is required for you to be able to sell the Accelerated Access Solution as part of an AG Secure Lifetime GUL II policy. Your Life Insurance and Accident & Health licensing is all that’s necessary from a licensing standpoint. It also means that the primary triggers for Chronic Illness benefits are either (1) inability to perform 2-out-of-6 Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s); or (2) severe cognitive impairment. The benefit was filed as an Indemnity benefit. That’s completely different than the alternative – the Reimbursement benefit. With Reimbursement, you must file a claim and provide copies of all invoices. Your claim is reviewed and, eventually, you receive a reimbursement in an amount the insurance company deems appropriate based on your receipts. With American General Life’s Indemnity version, you don’t need to provide an receipts or file any claims regarding your treatments. American General Life will send your benefit checks every month, regardless of whether you’ve incurred any costs at all, and regardless of what those costs were. You meet the criteria for ADLs or severe cognitive impairment, file your claim and satisfy the 90-day waiting period, and American General Life begins sending the checks.

Monthly Benefit = Total Benefit ÷ 12 Monthly benefit: American General Life will always pay up to the maximum IRS monthly Per Diem benefit, but you have a choice of three different caps on the maximum monthly benefit American General Life will pay. 2% of the AAS Benefit Base. With this option, if you had an Accelerated Access Solution aggregate benefit of $500,000, your monthly maximum benefit would be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $10,000 per month. 4% of the AAS Benefit Base. With this option, if you had an Accelerated Access Solution aggregate benefit of $500,000, your monthly maximum benefit would be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $20,000 per month. If you don’t choose to cap your monthly benefit at 2% or 4%, and assuming the same aggregate $500,000 Accelerated Access Solution benefit, the maximum monthly benefit will be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $500,000 divided by 12 months = $41,666 per month. So, choose your aggregate benefit, and your monthly cap, and you’ll be ready to go! IRS caps the maximum daily rate each year. The 2017 maximum is $360/day or $10,950 month. Subsequent years may be higher. * Maximum monthly benefits limited to IRS per diem in effect at time of claim AGLC111217 Page 23 of 46 108783 23

Accelerated Access Solution
Inflation hedge against future costs Purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit Many products won’t allow it Provides inflation protection with a maximum monthly benefit cap 4% Cap – example: 4% of $300,000 = $12,000 per month Go on-claim in 2017: Collect $10,950 per month Go on-claim in the future when Per Diem = $15,000 per month: Collect $12,000 per month Per Diem – example: $300,000 AAS benefit Maximum monthly benefit: $300,000 = $15,000 per month For clarification, here are a few more examples. With Accelerated Access Solution you can actually purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit. There are products on the market that won’t let you purchase a benefit in excess of the current year’s Per Diem limit, which means your benefit will never go up, regardless of an increasing, inflation adjusted Per Diem. Because AIG allows you to purchase an aggregate amount and a monthly benefit amount in excess of the current Per Diem, the outcome is very simple. At lower Per Diem amounts you get less per month, but for more months. At higher Per Diem amounts you get more per month, but for fewer months. Let’s look at another example using a 4% cap. If you purchased a $300,000 Accelerated Access Solution benefit, your maximum monthly benefit would be $12,000. Accelerating $12,000 per month would be able to continue for 25 months ($300,000 ÷ 12 = $25) If you went on-claim in 2017 you’ wouldn’t receive the entire $12,000 per month. The IRS Per Diem would limit you to $10,950 per month, which would last for 30 months. And, if you went on claim when the IRS Per Diem was $15,000, American General would limit your monthly benefit to your capped amount of $12,000 per month. Lastly, if you did not choose a 2% or 4% cap, then your maximum monthly benefit is your total benefit divided by 12. In this example, $300,000 ÷ 12 = $25,000 per month. Naturally, if the Per Diem amount is less than $25,000 per month, you’ll receive the Per Diem in effect when you began your claim. * Maximum monthly benefits limited to IRS per diem in effect at time of claim AGLC111217 Page 24 of 46 108783 24

ML Strategic Balanced Index® Dynamically Blending Equity and Fixed Income Indices to Provide Stability with Upside Growth Potential What You Should Know About the S&P 500 and ML Strategic Balanced Index The S&P 500® Index includes 500 of the largest companies in the U.S. market. It is widely regarded as the standard for measuring U.S. stock market performance. The Merrill Lynch 10-Year Treasury Futures (Total Return) Index tracks the performance of a portfolio of near maturity 10-year U.S. Treasury futures contracts. It is representative of the fixed income market. The ML Strategic Balanced Index is a hybrid index that diversifies across multiple asset classes. It seeks growth and volatility control by dynamically allocating to equity, fixed income and cash. Account options that use the ML Strategic Balanced Index may benefit from a higher, more consistent level of earned interest. AGLC111217 Page 34 of 46 108783 34
35
Rules-Based Indexing A dynamic two-step allocation process
The ML Strategic Balanced Index® employs quantitative rules based on market volatility to adjust exposures between the S&P 500® Index (without dividends) and the Merrill Lynch 10-Year Treasury Futures (Total Return) Index. This rules-based process helps to eliminate the negative impact that emotions may have on allocation decisions, making the process objective and transparent. Equity and fixed income allocations are rebalanced semiannually based on the historical volatility of the underlying indices. Volatility is also monitored on a daily basis, and allocations may be shifted to cash when short-term volatility rises above 6%. The Index seeks to maintain volatility at this level to help balance risk and return. 1. Volatility Control measures seek to provide smoother results and mitigate sharp market fluctuations. While this type of strategy can lessen the impact of market downturns, it is important to note that it will also lessen the impact of market upturns, therefore limiting upside potential.

The Accelerated Access Solution (AAS) is an optional living benefit rider that is available on the insurance policy issued by American General Life Insurance Company in the state of California. The Accelerated Access Solution is a life insurance rider that accelerates a portion of a policy’s death benefit when an insured meets the health impairment criteria set forth in the rider.1 Control over how money is spent is up to the policy holder; there are no receipts required and no restrictions on what the money is used for once the policy owner has been certified as eligible to receive AAS benefits. Benefits are paid directly to the policyholder for as long as the criteria are met, or until the AAS benefit amount is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Acceleration of death benefits and payments under such an accelerated death benefit will reduce the death benefit of the policy and reduce other policy values as well, potentially to zero. If the entirety of the insurance amount is accelerated, the policy terminates. Payout Options Multiple benefit payment options are available with two options for monthly disbursement at the time of purchase: • 2% of AAS benefit, or the applicable maximum monthly amount if less • 4% of AAS benefit, or the applicable maximum monthly amount if less The maximum monthly amount is $10,000 increased annually by 4% until the time of claim. • Alternatively, you have the option at the time of claim to receive the accelerated benefit in a lump sum payment in lieu of the benefits payable under the monthly payment option you selected. Such lump sum benefit will be subject to an actuarial discount that is determined by the company at the time you become eligible for benefits under the rider.2 Benefit Payment Once the insured meets the health impairment criteria and benefits have been approved for payment, they may select their disbursement. There is a maximum benefit payable under the monthly disbursement option that we’ll notify the insured of at their time of claim. The insured may also select a smaller amount than the maximum monthly benefit. A lump sum option is available as well; which can be substituted for monthly benefits. Tax Implications There are no restrictions or limitations on the use of the accelerated death benefit proceeds under the Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. The accelerated benefits payable under this rider are generally intended for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Internal Revenue Code. There may be tax consequences in some situation in accepting an accelerated benefit payment amount, such as where payments exceed the per diem limitation under the Internal Revenue Code. You should consult your personal tax advisor to assess the impact of this Benefit prior to accepting the Benefit. 1 Insured must be certified as chronically ill by a Licensed Health Care Practitioner and meet all eligibility requirements and the condition need not be permanent. 2 The Company will determine the actuarial discount applicable to a given lump sum payment using factors including, but not limited to the Company’s assessment of the expected future mortality of the Insured and an interest rate determined as described in the rider.

NOT Long-Term Care Insurance This is a life insurance benefit that also gives you the option to accelerate some or all of the death benefit in the event that you meet the criteria for a qualifying event described in the policy. This policy or certificate does not provide long-term care insurance subject to California long-term care insurance law. This policy or certificate is not a California Partnership for Long-Term Care program policy. This policy or certificate is not a Medicare supplement policy. An accelerated death benefit such as the Chronic Illness Accelerated Benefit Rider and long-term care insurance provide very different kinds of benefits: Generally, an accelerated death benefit is a rider to or other provision in a life insurance policy that permits the policy owner to accelerate some or potentially all of the death benefit of a life insurance policy if the insured meets the definition of having a chronic illness as defined in the rider or policy provision. Acceleration of death benefits and payments under such an accelerated death benefit will reduce the death benefit of the policy and reduce other policy values as well, potentially to zero. If the entirety of the insurance amount is accelerated, the policy terminates. A Long Term Care insurance policy is any insurance policy, certificate, or rider providing coverage for diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, rehabilitative, maintenance, or personal care services that are provided in a setting other than an acute care unit of a hospital. Long-term care insurance includes all products containing any of the following benefit types: coverage for institutional care including care in a nursing home, convalescent facility, extended care facility, custodial care facility, skilled nursing facility, or personal care home; home care coverage including home health care, personal care, homemaker services, hospice, or respite care; or community-based coverage including adult day care, hospice, or respite care. Long-term care insurance includes disability based longterm care policies but does not include insurance designed primarily to provide Medicare supplement or major medical expense coverage. If you are interested in long-term care, nursing home or home care insurance, you should consult with an insurance agent licensed to sell that insurance, inquire with the insurance company offering the accelerated death benefits, or visit the California Department of Insurance Internet Web site (www. insurance.ca.gov) section regarding long-term care insurance. If you choose to accelerate a portion of your death benefit, doing so will reduce the amount that your beneficiary will receive upon your death. Receipt of accelerated death benefits may affect eligibility for public assistance programs, such as Medi-Cal or Medicaid. Prior to electing to receive the accelerated death benefit, you should consult with the appropriate social services agency concerning how receipt of accelerated death benefits may affect that eligibility. If the policy terminates, the Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider will also terminate. LTC expense reimbursement vs. ADB benefits are paid without receipts. LTC benefits are based on benefit levels and a pool of money selected at the time of purchase, and ADB benefits depend on the life policy value. ADB benefits will reduce the death benefit that the policyholder’s heirs will receive, and the use of the ADB proceeds is unrestricted, whereas LTC benefits will not reduce the death benefit that the policyholder’s heirs will receive and the policyholder must use LTC benefits for LTC services.

Index Disclosure for the ML Strategic Balanced Index
The ML Strategic Balanced IndexSM provides systematic, rules-based access to the blended performance of two underlying indices—the S&P 500 (without dividends), which serves to represent equity performance, and the Merrill Lynch 10-year U.S. Treasury Futures Total Return Index, which serves to represent fixed income performance. To help manage overall return volatility, the Index may also systematically utilize Cash performance in addition to the performance of the two underlying indices. Important Note: The ML Strategic Balanced Index embeds an annual index cost in the calculations of the change in Index Value over the Index Term. This “embedded index cost” will reduce any change in Index Value over the Index Term that would otherwise have been used in the calculation of index interest, and it funds certain operational and licensing costs for the index. It is not a fee paid by you or received by the Company. The Company’s licensing relationship with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated for use of the ML Strategic Balanced Index and for use of certain service marks includes the Company’s purchase of financial instruments for purposes of meeting its interest crediting obligations.
